When Seconds Count — текст песни (Survivor)

(Jim Peterik/Frankie Sullivan)
Can`t remember just how it ended
I`m hazy as to how it began
Crazy how our lives got so tangled
Now we`re simply silent partners again
Secretly walking a tightrope
Come fall into the arms of the past
`Cause it`s still the same me
Still the same you
Who swore those promises would still ring true...
So when your heart cries out
In the middle of a sleepless night
And you`re suddenly so lonely
When seconds count
Count on me, count on me
Special moments taken for granted
Tenderness that found no reward
Funny how you`d speak of forever
Only to wind up restless and bored
Can sweethearts so suddenly strangers
Recapture in a moment the fire
Well, it`s still the same me
Still the same you
The same two children deep down it`s true...
So when your heart cries out
In the middle of a sleepless night
And you`re lost and feelin` lonely
When seconds count
Count on me, count on me
When your dream dies hard
And you`re stranded out on the boulevard
I`ll be there in a heartbeat
When seconds count
Count on me, count on me
I`m going back in time to how it used to be
(instrumental)
Now it`s a race with time
Until I change your mind
So when your heart cries out
In the middle of a sleepless night
And you`re lost and feelin` lonely
When seconds count
Count on me, count on me
When your dream dies hard
And you`re stranded out on the boulevard
I`ll be there in a heartbeat
When seconds count
Count on me, you can always count on me
